Unidentified Imperial commander (Thyferra)

A Human male officer served as a commander in the Imperial Army. He participated in the search for a rogue Imperial Moff Kalast, who had been feeding the Rebel Alliance with secret information concerning the newest Imperial superweapon, the Death Star. The commander was in charge of the Imperial forces during the attempt to uncover the traitor at the assault on Thyferra. However, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader soon arrived and assumed command of the commander's forces. Although the battle was won, Vader executed the commander for his incompetence in making sure that the Rebels were not alerted to the Empire's presence on the planet, which resulted in Vader's failure to find the traitor.
